Angus James Taylor (born 30 September 1966) is an Australian politician who has served as the leader of the Opposition since 2026, holding office as the leader of the Liberal Party. He has been the member of Parliament (MP) for the New South Wales division of Hume since 2013, and previously served as a minister in the Turnbull and Morrison governments. Born in Cooma, Taylor was raised in rural New South Wales. He graduated from the University of Sydney and New College, Oxford, attending the latter as a Rhodes Scholar. Prior to entering politics, he worked as a management consultant and in agribusiness. Taylor was elected to the House of Representatives at the 2013 federal election, becoming an assistant minister in the Turnbull government in 2015, and Minister for Law Enforcement and Cybersecurity in 2017. He held office as Minister for Energy, Energy and Emissions Reduction, and Minister for Industry, Energy and Emissions Reduction in the Morrison government. Following Peter Dutton's defeat at the 2025 election, he contested the subsequent leadership election, losing to Sussan Ley. Taylor, a prominent member of the National Right party faction, resigned from Ley's shadow cabinet in 2026 amid historically low polling for the Liberal Party. He successfully challenged Ley in a subsequent leadership spill, becoming the leader of the Liberal Party and the leader of the Opposition.
